Louisiana flooding

Baton Rouge Officials are preparing to tear down abandoned homes that were damaged from flooding in August.

Gov. John Bel Edwards is looking to garner support for another $4 billion in flood recovery funding from the federal government.

Shelters remain open in East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, East Feliciana and Tangipahoa parishes.

NASA's Earth Observatory Blog used a satellite to map the rainfall in Louisiana from August 12-14, and the images are quite jolting.
